Davey/Davy Jones’s locker
that the couple were real. The most frequently repeated attribution is that Darby and Joan was coined by the English printer Henry Woodfall (c. 1686–1747) whose employer John Darby was married to Joan Darby.
David and Jonathan – (библ.) Давид и Ионафан; неразлучные друзья David and Jonathan were heroic figures of the Kingdom of Israel. Jonathan was the son of Saul, king of Israel, and David was the son of Jesse of Bethlehem and Jonathan’s presumed rival for the crown. David became king. The agreement the two men had formed eventually led to David graciously seating Jonathan’s son, a cripple, at his own royal table instead of eradicating the former king Saul’s line. The biblical text does not explicitly depict the nature of the relationship between David and Jonathan. The traditional and mainstream religious interpretation of the relationship has been one of platonic love and an example of homosociality. Some later Medieval and Renaissance literature drew upon the story to underline strong personal friendships between men, some of which involved romantic love. Davey/Davy Jones’s locker (usu facet) – (мор. жарг.) рундук Дейви Джоунза; могила в море An idiom for the bottom of the sea; the resting place of drowned mariners. For obscure reasons, 18th-century seamen gave the name Davy Jones to the ruler of the evil spirits of the sea. It is used as a euphemism for death at sea (to be sent to Davy Jones’s locker). The origins of the name are unclear and many theories have been put forth, including incompetent sailors, a pub owner who kidnapped sailors, or that Davy Jones is another name for the devil – as in “Devil Jonah.” None of these is supported by any evidence – they are little more than guesses. This nautical superstition was popularized in the 19th century: ...seamen would have met a watery grave; or, to use a seaman’s phrase, gone to Davy Jones’s locker. * My camera fell overboard and went to Davy Jones’s locker.
